Until the Federal government begins discovering the way to exploit all the melting glacier's on the Polar Ice Caps, the estimated 10 billion people on the earth by that time (2040) are going to need a new source of fresh water, most assuredly. That will mean a $20 million study by a few Fed's to devise a plan. We're all equal, so the people who pay the $200 for the energy efficiency rating in the 6 bedroom, 6 1/2 bath, three stall garage houses will be charged equally with the renters who live modestly, because they will end up by paying the fee indirectly. The number of houses in the new world Damerica, each contributing $200, and the money allocated to capturing the melting Glaciers as the last fresh water resource, will give the Feds not only a new source of revenue and another reason to raise taxes, but also a new reason for war. You know how much more important it is, our Feds preach, to quench the thirst of an American than anyone else. The millions of dollars collected by nanny government to inspect your house will go into the pockets of the inspectors themselves. Finally, every conceivable scrap of detail about every resident in any living quarters everywhere in the Totalitarian State of Damerica will be categorized, listed, and assessed; right down to number of gallons their toilets use to flush.
